Manage third-party integrations

Last updated on January 25, 2024

Overview

Third-party Store Integration is used to configure the IAP (In-App Purchase) service, so that AccelByte can make connections with stores from third-party platforms. This is a necessary step, that needs to be completed in order for AccelByte to sync player purchases from those platforms.

Goals

Learn how to configure store integrations for PSN, XBox, Steam, Epic, Twitch, Google Play, and Apple.

Prerequisites

• Before creating an In-app Purchase configuration, make sure you have configured third-party authentication for the selected platform.
• You are familiar with In-App Purchase Integration in the Admin Portal.

Add a New Configuration

Follow the steps below to configure third-party stores in the AGS Admin Portal.

1. Before you start, make sure you are in the namespace you want to configure. Go to the E-Commerce section of the main menu in the Admin Portal, and select In-app Purchase, and then 3rd Party Store Integrations.

   

   note

   Any configurations you make in the publisher namespace will be used as the default configuration for any unconfigured game namespaces.

2. Select the platform you wish to configure from the tabs, and click Add Configuration.

   

   note

   Each namespace can only have one configuration per platform.

3. Complete the Add Configuration popup. This will be different for each platform.
